Welcome
7th Forum on Respiratory Tract infections
Dear Colleagues & Friends
Dear Colleagues & Friends,
As conference chair, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 7th Forum on Respiratory Tract Infections. After a successful edition last year, we are excited to return to the UK for this milestone event, taking place between the 3rd-5th February 2025, in the vibrant city of Glasgow.
The last few years have brought remarkable advancements in respiratory research, bringing respiratory tract infections into sharper focus within public health, clinical practice, and scientific exploration. The global challenges we face, particularly with antibiotic resistance and emerging diagnostic methods, have made it essential for experts across various fields to collaborate closely. Our forum remains a key platform to foster these collaborations, blending clinical expertise with cutting-edge translational research.
This year, we are proud to introduce pressing new topics such as Antibiotic Resistance, Molecular Diagnostics, and Novel Approaches in the treatment of respiratory tract infections. In addition, we will continue to delve into critical issues such as pneumonia, respiratory viruses, chronic lung infections, and mycobacterial and fungal diseases.
With breakthroughs in treatment, diagnostics, and vaccinology reshaping the landscape of respiratory infections, the Forum will provide an inspiring environment to explore these advances and build future collaborations.
We are truly on the brink of a new era in respiratory research – one that holds great promise for improved patient care and scientific progress.
We warmly invite you to join us in Glasgow, engage in thought-provoking discussions, and be part of this exciting journey towards advancing respiratory health.
Yours Sincerely,
James D. Chalmers
